INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE: Please read carefully
before putting machine into operation!
WARNING: Read all safety precautions and instructions.
Failures in the compliance with these can cause electric
shock, fire and/or heavy injuries.
1. SECURITY OF EMPLOYMENT
a. Keep your working area clean and well illuminated.
Disorder
or unilluminated working areas can cause accidents.
b.
Do not work in explosive ambiences with the electric tool, in
which there are flammable liquid, gases or dusts.
Electric tools
generate sparks which can inflame the dust or vapours.
c. Keep children and other persons away from electric tool while
using it.
When being distracted you can loose control of the device.
2. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a. The mains plug of the electric tool must fit into the socket. The
plug must not be changed in any kind. Do not use adaptor
plugs together with earthed electric tools.
Unmodified plugs and
fitting plugs reduce the risk of electric shock.
b. Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces, like tubes, heatings,
cookers and fridges.
There is a higher chance of electric shock
when your body is earthed.
c. Keep your electric tool away from rain or wetness.
The
infiltration of water into an electric tool increases the risk of an
electric shock.
d. Do not divert the cord from its intended use from carrying or
hanging up the electric tool, or for pulling the plugs from the
socket. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving device parts.
Damaged or tangled cords increase the risk
of an electric shock.
e. If you work outside with your electric tool, only use extension
cords that are appropriate for outside use.
The use of an
extension cord which is appropriate for outside use reduces the risk
of electric shock.
f. If the use of the electric tool in humid areas is inevitable, use a
ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI).
The use of a GFCI
reduces the risk of an electric shock.
3. PERSONAL SAFETY
a. Be attentive, pay attention to what you do and go to work with
electric tool with reason. Do not use electric an tool when you
are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
pharmaceuticals.
One moment of carelessness while using an
electric tool can cause serious injuries.
b. Wear personal protective equipment (PPE) and always wear
goggles.
The wearing of PPE like dust mask, skid-proof shoes,
protection helmet or hearing protection, depending on the kind and
use of the electric tool reduces the risk of injuries.
c. Avoid unintended start up. Make sure that the electric tool is
switched off before connecting it to the mains, picking it up or
carrying it.
When you have your finger on the switch while carrying
the electric tool or connect the device to the mains when it is
switched on, this can cause accidents.
d. Remove adjusting tools or wrenches before switching on the
electric tool.
A tool or wrench which is located on a turning device
can cause injuries.
e. Avoid abnormal posture. Care for safe standing and keep the
balance anytime. Do not work on a ladder.
Thus you can control
the electric tool better in unexpected situations.
f. Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear wide clothing or jewellery.
Keep hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts.
Wide
clothing, jewellery or long hair can be caught by moving parts.
g. If there is the possibility to assemble a dust extractor and
collection device, make sure these are connected and used
correctly.
The use of a dust extractor can reduces dangers caused
by dust.
4. USE AND HANDLING OF THE ELECTRIC TOOL
a. Do not overload the device. Use the appropriate electric tool
for your work.
With the appropriate electric tool you work better
and safer in the declared range of performance.
b. Do not use an electric tool whose switch is damaged.
An
electric tool which cannot be switched on and off is dangerous and
has to be repaired.
c. Unplug the plug from the socket before carrying out instrument
settings, exchanging accessories or put the device aside.
This
safety measure avoids the unintended start of the electric tool.
d. Keep unused electric tools out of reach of children. Do not
allow persons to use the device who are not familiar with it or
have not read these instructions.
Electric tools are dangerous if
they are used by inexperienced persons.
e. Maintain electric tools with care. Check if moveable parts
function correctly and do not jam, if parts are broken or
damaged in that way, that the function of the electric tool
affected. Have damaged parts repaired before using the
device.
Many accidents originate from bad maintained electric
tools.
f. Keep the cutting tool sharp and clean.
Carefully maintained
cutting tools with sharp edges jam less and are easier to guide.
g. Use electric tool, accessory, operation tools etc according to
these instructions. Thereby consider the conditions of
employment and the work to be done.
The use of electric tools
for other than the intended task can result in dangerous situations.
5. SERVICE
a. Have your tool only repaired by qualified personnel and only
with original spare parts.
This it is assured that the safety of the
electric tool is being obtained.
6. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR DRILLING MACHINES
a. Wear hearing protection while using drilling machines.
The
effect of noise can cause hearing loss.
b. Use additional handles that are supplied with the device.
The loss of control of the machine can cause injuries.
c. While drilling keep a sufficient big distance to the drill bit and
do not touch rotating parts. Protect the danger zone and
keep children and other persons away from it.
Falling or
catapulted parts can cause injuries.
This diamond core drill is assigned for commercial use only. It may
only be used by trained people. Proper use extends only to the drilling
of rock, concrete and masonry.
Pay attention that water gets not into the machine, switch handle,
terminal case and the electrical connections.
For operation, the national regulations for working with this core drill
must be observed.
Electric tools must regularly (approx 6 months) be checked by a safety
specialist.
Pay attention drill vertically (overhead drilling) only with appropriate
safety equipments (water collecting ring).
